We are deeply saddened by the devastating floods in Nepal and the China border area, which have claimed hundreds of lives, with many more people still missing.
Our thoughts are with those affected and their families. We stand ready to support the Red Cross response as needs evolve.

Our teams have been providing technical support, including by helping restore family links and assisting in the management of the deceased, to the Nepal Red Cross Society, with the IFRC, and other partners. Together, we are responding to humanitarian needs on the ground. We stand ready to scale up our technical support in other areas to meet the needs of communities affected by the devastating flood and to be with them in their recovery.\u201D R\u00E9gis Savioz ICRC\u2019s regional director for Asia Pacific

When someone goes missing, the absence does not end with them. It reaches the family waiting for answers, the relationships shaped by uncertainty, and the community carrying that unanswered question for years.
The impact of a missing person goes far beyond one life.

Professional policing starts with knowledge, ethics and respect for human dignity.
The #ICRC brought together 18 Bangladesh Police officers—including six women—for a Training of Trainers on International Standards for the Exercise of Police Powers.
By preparing future trainers on human rights, #IHL, ethical law enforcement, use of force, and crowd management, the training of trainers aims to create a multiplier effect that supports accountable and humanitarian policing.
